Tagging ut EtOn.

Tagging is not easy work at Eton
Fags not only have to wait on their
flag masters at almost all hours, to
bring them water and to look out for
their rooms, but they even have to cook
for them. All the boys of house take
their dinner together, but excepting in
two or three houses where . new rule
has been made, every one has his
breakfast and tea in his own room.
And for these meals the poor Tags are
cooks and walters. There is even
kitchen provided for their special use.
where they boil water, brew tea, and
toast bread. Many heartaches have
there been in those little kitchens.
Fancy youngster just out of the home
nursery, you might say, being set to
making toast, when he knows as little
about it as he does about Latin verses
And yet, if it is not all right, his fastid-
ious ma ter will take him to task with
all the Indignation of disappointed
hung +, and then send him off to do his
work over again. ut he e ows hard
ened by degrees to this work, just as
he does to verse; making, and in time
can joke and laugh as he cooks. And
if, while he talks, he forgets his toast
and let's it burn, what matter? With
little experience he learns to scrape
off the black with knife.-EiizaJcth

BIT CELIA THAxTER.

There is no day so dark
But through the murk some ray Of hope may
Some blessed touch from heaven that We might
feel,
II we but chose to mark
Who shut the portals fast,
And turn the key and let the sunshine In,
Yet to the worst despair that comes through sin
Gods light shall reach at last.
We slight our daily Joy.
Make much of your yexations, thickly set
Our paths with thorns of discomfort, and fret
At our fine Colds alloy,
Till bounteous Heaven might frown
At such insrattude, and, turning, lay
On our impatience burdens that would weigh
Our aching shoulders down.
We shed too many tears
And sigh too sore, and yield up to woe,
AS II God had not planned the way we go,
And counted out our years.
Can we not be content,
And lift our foreheads from the ignoble dust
OF these complaining lives, and wait with trust
Fulfilling Heavens intent2
Must we have wealth and power,
Fame, beauty, all things ordered to our mind?
Nay all these things lay happiness behindl
Accept the sun and shower,
The humble joys that bless,
Appealing to Indifferent hearts, and cold,
With delicate touch, striving to reach and hold
Our hidden consciousness.
And see how everywhere
Love comforts, Strengthens, helps, and saves us
all;
What opportunities of good befal
To make life sweet end fair.

you leave her 10 return to the house, we
kept observin' of her pretty spry because
of hef actin so strange an craZy-like.
Then We was surprised at seein' Mrs. De-
lorme hurryin' down to the water through
the gap in a very excited way, which sort of
drew off our attention from the other bit.
Then, soon arter Mrs. Delorme reached
the bottom of the stone steps leading up,
one of my mates gave yell and pointed
to the brow of Indian Head. None
OF us could tell exactly how it
happened-whether she jumped off, or
tumbled over-but jest at that minute we
saw the strange lady making grabs at the
bushes and the air, as though to save her
self, and then down she rolled and plunged
the hull three hundred feet of cliff, bound
ing off at different points as she struck the
jags, and screaming terribly. She fell on
the rocks right at Mrs. Delorme's feet, an
was dead minute arter we TUX her up"
Archibald Delorme gave q groan, and
buried his face in his hands.
Hllda only bore up long enough to hear
the close of the fshermans story-to be
assured that her husband, however erring,
was anything but murderer-at1d then
she swoomed away for the second time that
morning, and was carried to her room by
Norah and Mrs. Saunders.
An attack of brain-feyer followed her
prostitution, consequent upon the terrible
shock of that mornings catastrophe, and
she was confined to her bed for several
weeks.
Her husband was the very soul of ten
derness and devotion during that trying
period. He scarcely quilted her bedside,
was even jealous of the hired nurses, and
at last, one day when her convalescence
was assured, he took her hand in his, and
made clean breast OF the secrets of his
former miserable married life.
He told her how the unprincipled woman,
from whom he had been justly divorced,
had followed him across the sea soon after
his second marriage, and SO besieged him
with Matchmaking demands, both by letter
and interview, coupled with threats of ex-
posing his past misery to Hilda and his
new friends, rs to render his life burden.
lie told her how, upon his last interview
with her, she had boldly expressed her de-
termination to introduce herself into his
house, and shame him in Hilda's eyes, hat
that she had in all probability altered h,r
intention, and sought relief in self destruc-
! ton soon after his quitting her to return
to the house.
Hilda heard all and forgave all. She
had an unbosoming to make on her OVID
account, and she did so with the utmost
freedom, confessing her unworthiness for
the suspicion and distrust to which she
had afforded too ready Judgment in her
breast, and solemnly averring never again
to withdraw her confidence in his truth and
manliness.
So, at last the evil cloud that had arisen
between these welded lives was dissipated.
Since then their union has been sunny, and
blessed with loving children, while the
erring and unfortunate Estelle slumbers in
her seaside grave, which both Hilda and
her husband oft visit, for the purpose of
decking it with flowers and dropping the
reluctant tear to her hapless memory.

TraInpS.

Tt has remained for the American
civilization of the nineteenth century
to develop the genus tramp, that mi
gra.ory human whose flight to the
South can be gaNbled on to q certainty
as forerunner of cold weather.
When winter puts on his ulster and
begins to do song and dance on the
heart of the great lakes, the tramp
takes out Cross-tie & Great Southern
Railroad ticket (unlimited), cat hes on
to u brake-beam sleeping berth, and
turns his face toward the Gulf of Mex
leo. He humpeth himself like drom-
edary, and lingereth not by the road
side to toy with the rural wood-pile,
but hastens on with swiftness that
causes a note in bank to grow exceed
| ingly weary.
That is the only time that tramp
does anything swiftly, except to get
over fence to avoid the yard dog.
But when old winter sticks an icicle
| down the collar OF the summer tramp,
he has a su lden yearning to go down
and rest under the orange trees of Flor
ida-and he goeth.
Tramps generally follow the lines of
railroads as the most direct, running
through the most thickly populated
districts, and then as affording an op-
portunity for an occasional lit. They
have long since learned how chilled
steeled is the heart of a freight conduc-
tor, and what elo luence of expostula-
ton his boot-toe possesses; and their
sensitive, shrinking natures recoil at
thoughts of the brutal refusal that will
meet an humble petition, and sneak in
to box-car.
1t is surprising to note the number
of ablebodied men who tramp-great,
stout, hulking fellows. who are physic-
ally able of doing hard days work
without any inconvenience. And the
hardihood they show in stealing q ride
on q brake-beam amid the sitting dust
that is whirled up under the cars,
would stand them in good need if
shown in an earnest search for work. -

The Charm Of Wearing Gems,

One of the charms of wearing q gem
is consciousness of its indestructi-
bility, its permanency, and, if one may
say SO, of its personality-the mystery
OF natures methods III its slow crystal
llzation in dark telluric depths, OF the
glance of imprisoned powers shut up
within its walls, remembrance of the
vague old idea of their potency-all
this, and more. to many minds, has as
much force as the inherent beauty of
the thing itself. Who knows what
spirit, what one of the genii, what
realistically commanded sprite is shut
up in the fiery depths of the ruby,
with its purple-blue corners, of the
pigeon-blood tinge, in the heavenly
color and brilliancy of the sapphire, in
the sea,green water depths of emerald
or beryl?
There is always fascination in its
sparkle, both when we wear it and see
another wear it, or when we lift it
from its dark hiding place in the cas-
ket where we keep it, as it looks up at
us with its hdless, deathless glance of
beauty. But a bit of glass, however
prettily colored-what spirit is there
in that, made by a man, accord
ing to .formula-what spell
can the most vivid imagination
con .ure up in its ray-what mystery
Turks in thing that any clown can put
together? Nothing of the poeticai or
romantic attaches to the wearing of the
colored glass, the artificial gem-~ mere
love of show and glitter and ostentation
enter into that. ---Harpe''s Bazar,
